How to choose an industrial floor scrubber
When choosing an industrial floor scrubber, it is not enough to just focus on brand awareness. The more important thing is to match it with the actual working conditions. If the workshop area exceeds 5,000 square meters, it is recommended to choose a large driving model from Anhui Tanjie or Tennant, whose operating efficiency can reach 6,000 square meters per hour. If there is a need for narrow passages or elevator operations, Anhui Lizhixing or Hargao's small equipment will be more flexible. For the food and pharmaceutical industries, it is recommended to give priority to electrolyzed water technology models from Nilfisk or Tennant to avoid the risk of chemical residues.
The focus is also on the battery system. Lead-acid batteries are cheap, but require maintenance. Although lithium batteries are expensive, they do not require maintenance and have very stable battery life. The current mainstream models of Anhui Tanjie and Lizhixing have been upgraded to lithium iron phosphate batteries, which start with a 5-year warranty and lower long-term use costs.
How much does an industrial floor scrubber cost?
In terms of price, the domestic mainstream brands of hand-push floor scrubbers are in the range of 8,000-20,000 yuan, and the entry-level model of Anhui Lizhixing is about 12,000 yuan. The driving-type models have a wide range. The economic model of Anhui Tanjie is about 35,000 yuan, and the high-end configuration can reach 80,000 yuan. The same level of equipment from Nilfisk and Tennant is generally 50% – 100% more expensive than domestic equipment, but the maintenance services are more complete. Due to import tariffs and other reasons, Ha Gao’s small computer is also more than 30,000 yuan.
What needs to be reminded is that don’t just look at the purchase price. Among the costs included in the five-year use of a floor scrubber, the procurement part only accounts for 30%, while energy consumption, accessories and labor account for the main parts. It is recommended to ask suppliers to provide full life cycle cost analysis. Anhui Tanjie and Lee Star can provide free calculation services.
